<div dir="ltr"><div>Thank you Claudia, Anne and Martin for a really compelling workshop proposal. It is both very close to lots of the research that's going on here -- on cities and infrastructures -- and entirely new. I'd like to encourage everyone on the list to read it, especially if you have an interest in infrastructures: <a href="http://lists.wits.ac.za/pipermail/sugarman/attachments/20141029/b4803a9c/attachment-0001.pdf">http://lists.wits.ac.za/pipermail/sugarman/attachments/20141029/b4803a9c/attachment-0001.pdf</a>. If you suggestions or criticisms please make them -- this list is a good place.<br><br></div>To simplify the problem of scheduling (occasionally a good thing) I've created a Doodle poll here <a href="http://doodle.com/imy6nm665mdrbiqg9ixev6p5/admin#table">http://doodle.com/imy6nm665mdrbiqg9ixev6p5/admin#table</a>. If you're interested in the themes in the proposal, and you'd like to participate in the workshops (which will be for about a week, probably afternoons only!) please indicate which time suits you best. There are five options -- Doodle likes to show only four and you have to expand the table to see all of them. Please do this now, as the longer we wait to select a date the difficult planning will get.<br><br>Many thanks! <br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Oct 30, 2014 at 7:07 AM, Sarah Charlton <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:Sarah.Charlton@wits.ac.za" target="_blank">Sarah.Charlton@wits.ac.za</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

<div dir="ltr">Can I put in a suggestion that we do this workshop over the Michigan Spring Break, March 1 - 10, or similar. The workshop will not be as long as last year, so it might be possible to do March 2 to 9 or similar. I don't mean to remind you of
what lies ahead, but winter is coming and Johannesburg in March (or any time between mid - October and early May) is lovely. I won't belabour the point about having two winters ...

<div>Early May might be (barely) doable for me, depending on the exact timing. Early July (if we were done no later than 6/11) would be distinctly better. And the last week of June would be best of all.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I wonder if you organizing folks could post a description of the workshop? I imagine it's evolved since the original proposal, and I suspect that would help a lot of people figure out whether to go.<br>

<div style="direction:ltr;font-family:Tahoma;font-size:10pt">Hi all
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We are beginning to organise the planned workshop on urbanism for next year and would like to settle on some dates. From some initial inquiries, it seems like early May might be the best time period for the workshop to take place, but we'd like to open
up to the list to discuss this. Early July has also been raised as a possible time, although that might be difficult for people on the South African side as there are already quite a few workshops and conferences taking place here over the June/July period.
If people could post back to the list about whether May, July or some other month would be better for them, we can begin to nail down some dates. </div>
